Chapter 809: Volcanic Eruption. One Day's Journey
That night, Chu An entered the space while sleeping.
Wang Ce and Grandma Xia have made twenty breathing masks, which are full-coverage masks that can protect the eyes, but they look rather "ugly" in appearance.
"Don't be fooled by its ugliness. The inner core and the filter layer are not sloppy at all." Wang Ce was a little proud.
Chu An naturally wouldn't mind being ugly, so he thanked the two chefs and several helpers. When he didn't see Yao Han, he asked where he had gone.
"I miss grandpa again. He is in his room." said Mr. Guo.
It took him a while to get over it, and he had to process it by himself; no one else could help him.
The next day, Chu An took Gu Ye away from the villa.
There are three things to do today: obtain the right to live in the Situ family villa, help Shen Xiangting connect with the air-raid shelter to sell protective clothing, and go to the hospital to see the second child and get some information.
The first thing went smoothly, but Feng Zhuoyi's assets had to wait for a while to be unfrozen. They had already obtained the testimony of the second brother, confirming that Feng Zhuoyi had no relationship with the Blue Gold Club, and they were still going through the process.
The new base chief had not been appointed, and many processes could not be completed. The old director assured them that it would not be too late.
When they were leaving, they ran into Cui Liang and Guo Jingyan, both of whom had lost weight. Guo Jingyan had a mission, so she said hello and left. Cui Liang's hand was injured and needed to be bandaged. They took this opportunity to talk for a while.
"The transportation work will be completed tomorrow, and some materials from the outer city will be transported later." Cui Liang sighed, "Captain Mou and the people from the Public Security Bureau will also come, but it may be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it depends on the production situation of the Sun family."
"Is there enough accommodation?" Chu An was more worried about this.
"The security guards will be assigned here. The offices on the top three floors are all vacant, but the conditions are tough right now, so we can only sleep on the floor. Director Ye and his men will temporarily live in the apartment in the north, and the old director has made all the arrangements."
"Okay, the temperature may drop in the next few days, so you should pay attention." Chu An reminded.
The temperature will officially drop after the New Year, which is still half a month away.
Cui Liang frowned, and the medical worker who was bandaging the wound beside him shivered. No one wanted to live in a day with a temperature of minus 80 degrees Celsius.
"You...is your information accurate?" Cui Liang thought about it and asked anyway. It was not questioning but unwillingness to believe it.
"Accurate." Chu An knew that he would not ask about the source of the information, so he gave a positive answer, "But it won't be as extremely cold as before. The lowest temperature can reach 60 degrees, and it will usually be around 50-55 degrees."
Cui Liang breathed a sigh of relief, but then he thought, since the Blue Gold Society had not been eliminated and the volcanic ash had not dispersed, it would probably be a difficult winter.
"How long will it last?"
“It will last until next spring.”
Chu An committed suicide that spring. If she remembered correctly, there was also an insect plague that spring.
Cui Liang was silent. His deep eyes showed no emotion, but one could guess that he was worried about the future.
Chu An told him about this in the hope that he could remind the old director and the government. As for Qingshan Base, City C and the nuclear test base, there were warning posts she had posted that year, so they could be used as precautions.
After a moment, Cui Liang nodded, "I understand."
After the medical worker finished bandaging the wound, he left with the medical kit on his back. Cui Liang rarely showed shyness and said to Chu An, "Thank you for helping my brother and his family."
"It's just a piece of cake." Cui Ming must have called to inform him yesterday.
"It was just a piece of cake for you, but it saved my life twice. I, Cui Liang, don't have much ability, but I can guarantee that whoever wants to touch you in the future will have to step over my dead body."
Xiao An's ability is her ability, and his attitude is his attitude.
"Thank you." Chu An still recognized this person, a person who was forced to say a lot.
Cui Liang was also very busy. After a heart-to-heart talk, the two sides parted ways. Cui Liang still had to go to protect the Sun family factory despite his injuries.
Chu An and Gu Ye drove a Hummer to the vicinity of the power plant, while Shen Xiangting and others were placed near the last power plant where Chu An counterattacked the Blue Gold Society, which was far away from the city.
Once you drive out of the city, you can see some people setting up tents on the roadside. They are scattered here and there. This is considered a suburb and the space is relatively ample.
There is a checkpoint approximately every 50 meters with two security guards.
These people moved slowly, had listless faces, and seemed to have lost faith in life.
After driving for another ten minutes, we saw a temporary two-story color steel house with a sign on it: Outer City F District Office. There were two police cars parked at the door, and security guards were coming in and out.
They parked the car at the door. Chu An asked Gu Ye to wait in the car while she got out to register alone.
Chu An told the staff that she was looking for a relative, and they looked at her residence permit and gave her a work card. They were happy to see this happen, as it would save them some management effort.
"It's been such a long time since you came here, and you're just now looking for your relatives. I guess they're not that close. Maybe they're just attracted by the points they have."
After Chu An left, a staff member snorted and said.
When residents from other cities first arrived, there were many people looking for their relatives, but we also saw a lot of good shows. To be honest, it’s all about the fickleness of the world.
"Work hard." The team leader rolled his eyes at him.
Chu An and Gu Ye didn't know about other people's arrangements. They slowed down and went to the location given by Shen Xiangting.
As we went deeper, more and more people came, and the Hummer attracted the attention of people around. Some people stood up and looked at it eagerly, wondering if it was coming to pick them up.
"Aye, over there." Chu An saw Shen Xiangting and pointed it to Gu Ye.
They didn't even have a tent, so they built a simple shed with torn plastic sheets, ropes and branches to protect them from the wind and rain.
There was a fire at the door with a steaming pot on it.
It was not yet noon, just past ten o'clock, so it was not time to make lunch. Besides, they had no food and were currently relying on government relief, so the food should be something they could eat right away.
Lao Wu (Chong Wusheng) and Lao Ba were picking up branches nearby, Bai Yang was digging something not far away, and in front of the shed were Chen Xiangting and Chen Duoyou sitting on the ground chatting.
They heard the sound of a car and hurriedly looked up, seeing the familiar Hummer. Chen Duoyou helped Shen Xiangting up, and both of them had smiles on their faces.
Bai Yang was still quite close, so he also looked up and immediately ran over with a small basket. When the Hummer stopped, he waited by the door.
"Brother Gu."
Bai Yang greeted Gu Ye who came out of the cab crisply, and the little guy was obviously closer to Gu Ye.
Chu An came down from the other side, just facing Shen Xiangting and Chen Duoyou, and didn't care about what was happening over there.
She took a look at the pot and saw some wild vegetables in it, which were black.
"Is everything packed?" she asked.
"Yeah, they're all inside." Chen Xiangting looked at the shed built behind him.
"Sorry to trouble you again." Chen Duoyou felt a little embarrassed. He was much more reserved than others.
Gu Ye and Bai Yang came over from the other side, and the little one greeted Chu An, "Sister Xiao An."
"Yeah." Chu An walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk. Chen Duoyou went to the shed to move things. Lao Wu and Lao Ba also came back. After saying hello, they went in together to move things.
Gu Ye also lent a hand and moved the boxes they had prepared into the shed. Inside were instant noodles, dried noodles, bread and sausages.
“Once the formalities are completed tomorrow, call me and I’ll pick you up.” Gu Ye said as he passed by Shen Xiangting.
They did not plan to let these people live in the Situ family villa. Shen Xiangting and his family were in a different situation from the Ye family and the Cui family, and living together was afraid of causing some unnecessary trouble.
Chu An was going to lend them two vans in the space. The back seats were removed and mattresses were placed in them. There was more than enough space for three people to sleep in one van. During the day, the mattresses could be lifted up to transport goods. The procedures they had to go through were mainly passes to enter and exit the North District. Even though no one cared where they set up their tents, they were not allowed to enter the city.
After the goods were loaded, Chu An asked Chen Xiangting, Lao Wu, Lao Ba and Bai Yang to get in the car and took them to the air-raid shelter where Lao Chu was.
Before leaving yesterday, they talked to Han Tai about this matter. The other party did not agree immediately, but did not refuse out of hand either.
Chu An came here this time to check out the situation. If things don’t work out here, they will go to the South District to sell.
